Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the exquisite 2005 Chateau Le Pin, a Bordeaux Blend that hails from the prestigious Pomerol region of Bordeaux, France. This wine is a true gem, encapsulating the essence of luxury and refinement.

As you pour this wine into your glass, it reveals a deep ruby-purple color that captivates the eye. The nose is an open-knit symphony of aromas, showcasing notes of caramel, coconut, coffee, melted chocolate, and sweet jammy black cherry and currant fruit. It is a captivating fragrance that draws you in, inviting you to explore more.

On the palate, this opulent and luscious Pomerol truly shines. The flamboyant flavors of ripe black fruits dance on your tongue, intertwined with hints of roasted herbs, meat juices, plums, and Asian spices. It is a harmonious blend of flavors that creates a truly unforgettable experience.

This wine has garnered high praise from esteemed critics. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it an impressive 93 points, describing it as a beautiful wine with an alluring fragrance.
